After the initial jaw drops, lyrically, this is a boring album. She should have named it 'Eat My Pussy'. 'Big Momma Thang' is okay but it gets boring from three minutes in and the same could be said for a number of tracks that follow. The opening is fairly underwhelming but it gets better from 'Crush on You'. 'Queen Bitch' is my pick from the album as the production is dope, Kim flows well (probably her best rapping on the album), Biggie adds to the song, and it's one of the few that doesn't get somewhat boring. Kim has attitude, and based on the lyrics she doesn't give one iota about what people think about her but there is nothing else she does often enough as a rapper that is noteworthy. She also goes missing on some songs like the finale and 'Crush on You' where she is only on the hook. Kim says she was pregnant and sick and just wanted the album out, hence not having a verse on that song. She was an important figure for females in hip hop, perhaps negatively contributing to the long list of xx chromosome rappers who thought they just needed to rap about sex to sell, but I don't know, not enough grabs me. Beats: ★★★ Rapping/Bars: ★★★ Hooks: ★★★ Best Tracks: Crush on You, Drugs, Queen Bitch, Dreams
